QUETTA: The Inspector General of Frontier Corps, Balochistan, Maj Gen Sher Afgun, has asked Baloch youths to end their armed fight against the state.
During a visit to Turbat and Panjgur on Sunday, he said the militants who would surrender before security forces and hand over weapons to the government would be given financial assistance.
He urged tribes to shun their differences for the sake of peace and development of their areas. “All tribal stakeholders will have to play their role for the cause of peace and progress and prosperity of the province.”
